Hi Lovlies! Remember me? I took a wonderful vacation to the distant (at least for me) lands of Japan and Taiwan. I absolutely loved my time there and three weeks was not nearly enough to explore everything. Thank you to those of you who sent lovely messages asking about my whereabouts. I back home now and just trying to get back into the grove of things. This weekend was the first opportunity since my return that I've gotten to sit down and look through some of the, umm, 6000 photos that I took!

I'm not quite ready to come back to full time blogging. There are things going on in my personal life right now that are keeping me quite distracted. I have actually not even been in my 'polish room' since returning from the trip. Even worse, my nails have been unpainted for over a month. Oh the horror! I won't even mention that I broke almost all of them on the trip and they were looking pretty scary upon my return. I've been trying to give them the Bliss Kiss treatment and get them back in presentable shape...

Hi everyone! Today's out of the archives manicure is one of my favorites
that I didn't get a chance to share with you before. This was a look
that I created while playing around with the Nicole by OPI 2014 shades. There are so many pretties in that release, but as usual, I
gravitated toward the teal...

Today I have another manicure to share with you that was created with
the lovlies from the Zoya Awaken collection from this Spring. For some

manis for me and I love it...

Today I would like to show you a manicure inspired once again by the
polish name. I seem to do that a lot. And Ok and I'll confess, the
pattern was also inspired by a pair of umm... panties that I have.
That's right, in my 30s and I still occasionally sport polka dot
panties. LOL! Sorry! I know, TMI! I'm probably going to regret writing this later so let's get back to the mani...

I hope you are all still entertained by my archive of manis while I'm
taking some time off. I created this manicure when reviewing the OPI
Mariah Carey Holiday collection. I swear this lacquer was inspired by
one of her dresses (see my original post for a pic), but the black
glitters against the nude shade left me thinking of leopard spots...

Hi Everyone! Today I have another manicure from the archives to share
with you. I created this while playing around with the shades from the Nicole by OPI 2014 releases at the beginning of this year. I just adore this
teal duochrome shade and it seemed the right spot for some butterflies to
land...

Hi Everyone! Today is the first post out of the archives and I hope
you will enjoy it. I created this while reviewing the Nicole by OPI
Carrie Underwood collection. The manicure was inspired by the name of
the peachy shade used to create this look...
